What's New

• Mission Events: Runs now generate dynamic narrative beats and unexpected events to bring the wasteland to life
• Truthful Attributes: Stat progression math overhauled. Combat, Scavenging, and Capacity scale smoothly without hard caps.

• Immersive UI: Added a smooth day/night cycle gradient overlay to the app header.

About This App

The world above has fallen. You lead a small group of survivors in an underground shelter — and it's up to you to keep them alive.

From the maker of The Factory, the hit crafting sim, comes a deeper, more ambitious survival experience...

The Shelter is a post-apocalyptic survival management game where every decision counts. Manage your crew, scavenge the wasteland for supplies, craft equipment, research new technologies, and trade goods. Your ultimate goal: build a long-range transmitter and broadcast a rescue signal from Radio Hill.

But the wasteland is unforgiving. Your crew can be injured, fall ill, or worse. Resources run thin. And if you lose everyone... it's over.

▸ MANAGE YOUR CREW

Recruit and manage up to 80 unique survivors, each with their own skills, backstory, and personality. Assign them to missions based on their strengths. Keep them rested, healed, and equipped — a well-managed crew is the difference between survival and defeat.

▸ SCAVENGE THE WASTELAND

Send your crew on missions across 14 distinct locations — from abandoned suburban houses and strip malls to hospitals, military bases, and research laboratories. Each location offers different resources and dangers. Choose wisely.

▸ CRAFT & UPGRADE

Build weapons, tools, medical supplies, and facility upgrades in your Workshop. Upgrade your shelter with better equipment — from a basic workbench to precision tools, surgical stations, and advanced generators.

▸ RESEARCH NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Unlock over 30 technologies in a branching research tree. Start with Shelter Basics and Scavenging 101, then advance through Combat Training, Field Medicine, Power Systems, and more — all the way to the Communications Array and the Transmitter itself.

▸ TRADE & BARTER

Buy and sell supplies at the Market. Trade crafted goods for rare materials. Build your trading network from basic bartering to a full Trade Empire.

▸ HEAL YOUR CREW

Treat injuries and illness in your Medical Bay. Research advanced medicine to unlock Surgery Suites, Trauma Centers, and Regeneration Pods.

▸ BUILD THE TRANSMITTER

Your endgame. Research the technology. Gather rare components on dangerous missions. Assemble the transmitter. Send your best crew member to Radio Hill. Broadcast the signal. Help is on the way.

• Premium game: no ads, no in-app purchases
• Fully offline: no internet required
• Continues in the background if there is ongoing work

★★★☆☆

Edited review. Most of my time in this game is spent micromanaging my storage. I've upgraded storage, added shelving. I constantly have crew unable to complete missions because storage is full. Not fun, pain in the arse. I keep selling things at the market. Storage is way too tight, not enjoyable.

★★★★☆

Easy to learn, although some things are left out of the tutorial. Gets a bit repetitive, especially in the beginning.

I made the game so 5 stars of course!
